Tangent Graphic: Royal Conservatoire of Scotland "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" promotional literature

CreditsBrand: Royal Conservatoire of ScotlandTitle(s): A Midsummer Night’s DreamAgency: Tangent Graphic, Glasgow, ScotlandAgency website: http://www.tangentgraphic.co.ukCreative Director: David WhyteAdditional credits: Graeme McQuarrie, Dave MorrowPublished: January 2013Short rationale (optional): Now in its eighth year, this ambitious Winter collaboration with Scottish Opera continues with a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s birth with a revival of Olivia Fuchs’ 2005 production for the Royal Opera House of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Adapted from the Shakespeare play, Britten’s version is centred on the ethereal world of the fairies rather than the human action at the heart of the original. As such, our challenge was to produce a creative which on one hand reflects the established and expected visual associations with Shakespeare, while on the other, the contemporary and stylistic approach of this particular production. The etched illustration style depicting the dark and mischievous fairies hidden amongst the foliage coupled with a bold colour palette based upon Yves Klein Blue (a major influence on the production), successfully bridges the idea of what is expected and what the production delivers. We applied our creative across all promotional literature, including a 24-page brochure, 60” x 40” posters, A5 fliers and the Royal Conservatoire’s Christmas card, promoting the show.
